It is believed that the first autogyro built a Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in 1923. The basic theory of the development has gyros in the 30 years of the twentieth century. For example, German submarines were equipped with gyros for maritime reconnaissance. They vzletli above sea level at the time of surfacing submarine. But since the invention of the helicopter, gyroplane dropped in popularity, as most gyroplanes can not take off vertically. But they require a much shorter run-up for take-off (10-30 m) than the aircraft. In some of the gyro motor can unleash rotor (rotor) for a few seconds, allowing to make a vertical take-off. Almost all the gyros are capable of vertical landing, in addition, these devices are capable of hanging with a strong headwind.
A definite plus gyro is that the principle of combining aircraft and helicopters, they znkachitelno superior aircraft and helicopters for security. In case of refusal gyro motor begins to rotate around its axis and does not fall, instead he gently lowered on the principle of a parachute, using the effect of rotation.
In economics they are superior to helicopters, and are comparable with the light aircraft. The rate gyro in the cruise mode - 170 km / h and fuel consumption is 15 liters per 100 km at a speed of 120 km / h. Avozhir uses gasoline and the cost is comparable with the car. For example, a kit for assembly at an average cost 30 thousand dollars. Gyros - the safest and the cheapest aircraft in the world have found a second life in our time. In the U.S. almost every month, held rallies fans of these "air motorcycle." By the undisputed advantages include gyro and comfort during operation - this is a minimal vibration and a much broader review of both the pilot and passenger. Most gyroplanes single and double.
